Ceranchia Wild Silk Patchwork Table Runner

Wild silk patchwork in saturated color

The Ceranchia Open Wild Silk Table Runner brings bold color and distinctive natural texture to the table. Handmade from start to finish in Madagascar, individual pieces of dyed wild silk are cut and sewn together to create an irregular patchwork of jewel tones. The runner’s mix of fuchsia, blue, teal, gold, green, and earthy neutrals makes each arrangement unique.

Material & Construction

Ceranchia Open Silk: This textile is made from the translucent outer layer of the double cocoon produced by Madagascar’s native Ceranchia silk moth.
Wild Silk Harvesting: Cocoons are collected using a method that allows the silkworm to mature and emerge as a moth before the empty cocoon is used.
Hand-Assembled Patchwork: Artisans dye the silk, cut the individual pieces, and stitch the color blocks together by hand.
Natural Texture: The flattened cocoons retain visible fibers, tonal shifts, and an open, lightly translucent character.

Craft & Origin

Made in Madagascar: Every stage of production, from preparing and dyeing the silk to assembling the finished runner, takes place in Madagascar.
Conservation-Based Livelihoods: Production connects rural income opportunities with the protection of native silk moth species and their forest habitat.
Fair Trade Production: The runner is produced through a Fair Trade–certified initiative that supports local leadership and community ownership.
Individual Variation: Differences in color placement, texture, stitching, and dimensions are expected in the handcrafted textile.

At the Table

Dining Table: Run lengthwise beneath serving bowls and platters to introduce color without covering the entire tabletop.
Layered Setting: Pair with simple ceramics, natural wood, or neutral linens to let the patchwork remain the focal point.
Sideboard Display: Use beneath a grouping of pottery, candlesticks, or decorative objects.
Seasonal Flexibility: The varied palette works across seasons, from bright summer tables to richer autumn and holiday arrangements.
